挂广告在GUMTREE上出租单间,昨天连着有2个人给我发短信,让我回邮件问我房间是不是还空着,我回完邮件,今天先收到一个

我一开始没反应过来,一看中国人,还问对方有没有微信,对方回我说没有,我就给他算了房租多少,还傻傻的告诉了地址。
这时候我收到了另一个人的信:
Many thanks for your response,let me introduce myself.

I will like you to kindly calculate the total cost covering my first three months’ rent together with deposit but I will be staying as long as your room is available.

I had attached a copy of my passport for you to have a picture of me. I will be waiting to read back from you.
这时候我开始警觉了,为什么又是在海上,23岁这么年轻就成了医生,而且这个人昨天的短信是他丈夫发的,23岁结婚还住在游轮上的医生来英国干嘛,前面那个来英国度假不是应该住在伦敦么,来我这个小村干嘛。这时候第一个人回我信了,
Many thanks again,I will love to rent the room and looking forward to meet you in person. I am arriving on 20th July and stay more than a year in UK so i will be paying for the first 4 month rent,please get back to me with your confirm PayPal email account for me to send the payment in advance because i will be presenting the proof of my rent payment to my employer and also to the immigration at the port of entry to UK for my reservation.I will be signing all the lease and document on my arrival day.I will be so happy to secure the room as soon as you get back to me with the PayPal money request or your confirm email for PayPal and if you do not have one you can as well get back to me with your bank account number and sort code for me to make bank transfer to your bank account as i can still make transfer from my PayPal account to any bank account.I will be attaching a photo ID of myself to this email,kindly check it out and also wont mind if you can send any identity of yours to me so that i can also have a little picture of whom im meeting pretty soon.Hoping to read from you soon.God bless
还附上了一个叫邹玥伽的人的护照,中国护照,加拿大签发的,云南人,估计这护照也是骗来的。我就彻底认为这是骗局了,如果我给他银行卡号,他知道卡号,知道我名字,知道我邮箱和地址,可以作妖的事就多了。以后大家看到这种骗子要当心了,特别是住在伦敦的!
更新:
在我回了一个中文短信咒他们全家以后,这个人又给我回了一封信,懂行的来说说,他们要PAYPAL和银行卡号最后怎么骗到钱?
Many thanks for getting back to me again. I am very social person that respect humanity and this make it so easy for me to get along with whoever that comes my way in life. I am arriving on 24th of July and start working in United Kingdom. I will be securing the room by transferring the rent to you through PayPal and if you do not have a paypal account kindly set up an account with them in less than 5 minutes on www.paypal.com. I would have requested for your bank details but for the safety of you and i with giving bank details online, I prefer going through PayPal. I will be so happy to secure the room as soon as you get back to me with the PayPal money request. All you need to do is to log into your PayPal and click request money, you will then send the money request of total 3 months rent to my email address for me to transfer the money. I will like to pay in advance through PayPal and my reason is that, I will be presenting the proof of my rent payment to my employer and also to the immigration at the port of entry into United Kingdom.
